Testing out Lemmy, but also posting the wireless Ergolite I just got setup, using some off the shelf laptop risers as a simple tenting kit. Works... surprisingly well. Though the furthest thumb key on both halves doesn't seem to work...

Where did you get the keycaps and are they using MX stem?

[–] mmasnick@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Keycaps are from Nuphy. Using Gateron low-pro switches, which I think are compatible with standard Cherry MX switches...

I never realized nuphy sells keycaps separately, thanks for the tip!

Not only do they, they're relatively inexpensive (compared to some other keycap offerings...) and they seem to have sales every so often too.

Looks great! Which switches are you using in there?

[–] mmasnick@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Gateron low profile switches... which seem (slightly) better than chocs for low profile switches. Also, I think that the Gateron low profile switches work fine in MX hotswap sockets.

I love the keycap with the 🐳!

This keycap set is wonderful.
